CIVIL WORKS
In all civil works, water infiltrating from foundations, from areas of contact with soil, or from unproperly
waterproofed roofings, can be detrimental for the structure. While action of water on foundations or structural elements
may cause safety problems, increased humidity due to water leaking from the roofs can cause serious deterioration of the
inside of the building. This may also lead to safety hazard and equipment damage within the structure.
The installation of a synthetic geomembrane provides the following benefits:
- creates a barrier to possible groundwater infiltration through foundations
- avoids water infiltration from the adjacent soil
- guarantees the impermeability of the roofing
- prevents damages to retained appurtenances
- provides long-lasting protection against deterioration.
Since 1963, CARPI geomembrane systems have been installed as the waterproofing element on various roofings, including
the Pope’s Nervi Hall in the Vatican. Special applications have been installed to assure protection of foundations in
case of very high water table, even in severe environments.
Waste products of man, particularly in advanced technology societies, can be very hazardous for the environment. Leachates
and gases originated by chemical reactions inside waste products, or chemicals discarded from the industry, if not
properly confined, may seep into the ground, contaminating the soil and, eventually, the groundwater. Some of these
wastes are also of an extremely, long-time dangerous nature.
The installation of a synthetic geomembrane as the confinement element in an environment protection facility
provides the following benefits:
- avoids seepage of leachates into the soil
- isolates hazardous chemicals
- can confine polluted areas to avoid further expansion of the phenomenon
- protects the groundwater
- when used as a cover can allow reclamation of areas (landfills), or can protect from
contamination of the environment
- has an excellent durability even when in contact with the most hazardous waste.
The CARPI systems have been applied to construction of landfills for municipal solid waste, industrial waste and
hazardous waste, to construction of protection barriers from polluting oils and from polluted waste waters, to
construction of floating covers to isolate pollutants from the chemical industry.
